What is actual unemployment in the US? Was told 8.1% number is actually above 13% and real numbers are being held back.

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

According to research done by a Merrill Lynch analyst, David Rosenberg, the actual rate as of February was around 13.9%.

The numbers we see come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Their numbers are skewed in a way since they count part time workers as being fully employed.

13.9% an all-time high, and up from 13.5% in December and 11.2% a year ago.
